Moving house child tax ? Universal credit

Madiandsky

Hello All

Iv tried to research this but it’s confusing

We live in a non universal credit area and claim child tax only
We are moving to a area that is changing to universal credit 18th April

Will this change in address trigger a movement too universal credit or will I stay on tax credit
Thanks

I think you will, stay on tax credits as it's a change of address only not a change in circumstances, however if you have been claiming housing benefit or want to claim housing benefit that would be a change in benefit and that would mean a claim to universal credit.......i think !
